Listening to Cannibal Sea is like leafing through a songbook of classic pop. These 12 songs blend the old with the new, incorporating the country rock mood of The Byrds, the Greenwich Village balladry of Fred Neil and the acoustic pop harmonizing of the Mamas and The Papas. Add a little of the pure pop perfection of The Monkees to traces of contemporary artists such as The Shins, The Hidden Cameras and Jens Lekman and you have The Essex Green's recipe for timeless pop that is classic without being retro. Recorded over the course of a year in several locaations in Brooklyn and Ohio, and points in between, Cannibal Sea is The Essex Green's most cohesive and accomplished album to date.
